Presidential Bromance

I think Obama and Sarkozy have a serious bromance going on. Whenever I pictures of them together they seem to be having a gay old time.





Jennifer's Body

This looks good!

This Is Odd

This seems strange to me.

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the police are cutting security on George W. Bush's Dallas home. And then right next to the story is a link so you can map the address.

Joyce DeWitt



So Janet from Three's Company was arrested for driving drunk. But I'm sure it's all a big misunderstanding and someone just needs to explain it to Furley, right?

(Yes, I made a joke, but drunk driving is not funny!)

UPDATE: How I did this.

  • Put the camera on a tripod.
  • Set ISO to 400. (Or play with other ISOs.)
  • Set camera to the TV setting (the one where you can choose the shutter speed.)
  • Choose anywhere from a five to eight-second exposure (or however long it takes you to write what you want to write.)
  • Write from left to right (how you normally would) and then flip the picture horizontally once you download it so it's not backwards.
  • I didn't use a flash, but you could experiment with one.

Some more tips:
  • We learned that printing works better than writing cursive.
  • Once your sparkler is lit, hold it at your starting point until the shutter is depressed, then start writing.
  • Hold the sparkler on the end point until the shutter closes.

What to Drive, What to Drive...

I'm at my mom and step-dad's house in Illinois for a week.

My sister and her husband took my mom's car to the Shedd Aquarium with the kids.

My mom took my step-dad's car to play golf.

My step-dad collects classic cars and took his El Camino to breakfast.

All I'm saying is that there's no one here to stop me from taking one of these to Starbucks:




I think I like the blue one best:

Mother Lover

I keep meaning to post this. You know the Justin Timberlake/Andy Samburg "Mother Lover" SNL skit? At the beginning of it they walk out of the jail that's in my neighborhood! The same jail I wrote about in Save Karyn. In fact, I'm pretty sure the whole skit was taped in the 'hood.

Here's a pic that I took this morning.

Okay, that's all!

Joe Jackson

Here's the reason Michael Jackson was so screwed up.

  • Wondering if it's really necessary to put on a bra to go to the corner store. #
  • Packing to go to Chicago for a week. What to bring, what to bring... I have a real issue with packing light. #
  • I don't like Weeds this season. Except Uncle Andy. I'll always love Uncle Andy. #

Me, today:

  • Re: Twilight series. When are they going to have vampire sex? I mean, it's 4:30AM & I need to go to sleep. Have vampire sex already. Please. #
  • Have you ever closed a laptop on your nipple? It doesn't feel so good. (I was lying down and using it; it was resting on my belly.) #

I'm Officially Thirteen Again

Not only am I reading the Twilight series (I'm on Eclipse right now) and loving every minute of it, but I was browsing the magazine aisle at the grocery store yesterday when my sister looked over at me and was like, "Are you reading Tiger Beat?"

I was.

(There were glossy pictures of Robert Pattinson inside—shut up!)

iTunes Charts

iTunes bestsellers right now... nine of the top ten songs and albums are by Michael Jackson.



Actually, if you click through to view the top 100 songs, about 40 of them are by MJ as well.

  • New Moon. Page 336. I've figured out what's going to happen. And the foreshadowing with R&J Don't say a word til I finish! And yes, it's 3am #
  • Sometimes I call my niece "Babe" and sometimes I call her "Boo." I just combined the two and accidentally called her "Boob." Whoops. #
  • My niece just pointed to a couple of freckles on my arm and goes, "KK, are those nipples?" #
